Have so enjoyed painting my beach series. I took some inspiring pics this summer on South Padre Island, and I have a bunch from my trip to the Mayan Riviera. I try to capture the evocative spirit of these exotic regions so we can remember the magic right here at home.

Finished this triptych a month ago and finally posting. Was a gift for Jillian our daughter-in-law. I love hay bales and plan to paint a bunch more, after my beach series. I love the beach and our farm lands. I am Texan after all.

About Me

As an artist, I work in oil and pastel and paint a variety of subjects. Simplification of my subjects has revealed a love of abstraction. I move seamlessly between representation and abstract work, always focusing on composition, value, movement, color and texture. I work in my home studio in Austin and teach oil and acrylic painting lessons to children and adults. My color and shaped-inspired works have been exhibited in galleries, museums, public spaces and festivals around the US, and many have found their way into private collections.
I am also a spiritual person. These areas of my life overlap. Sometimes my angel "downloads" influence my art, and my art gives way to divine insights. When these fields cross, you may see cross posts! All good!! Feel free to visit Debbi's Angel Blog and Debbi Smith Rourke's Art Blog.
